What if Tokyo gave an auto show & nobody came?

[Ol Dirty Gaijin]

Toyota absolutely sucks at car design. Their cars fall into three basic categories:

1) Obvious copies of other cars (MB 600, BMW 5, Ferrari 348, etc etc)
2) Plain vanilla shit that a drunk monkey could design (wagons, vans)
3) Fugly stuff designed from scratch in house (Supra, Celica, Prius)

I have no idea why the largest car company in the world is totally incapable of an attractive original design.

Because Toyota cars carry across the heart and soul of it's workers. None.

The coolest thing at the Motor Show was definately the Mazda RX500. It made its debut at the fair in 1970. Photo here: http://www.envoy.jp/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=76:photo-special-tokyo-motor-show&catid=37:technology&Itemid=59

The LFA is an awefull joke design wyse. Not as much of a let down as the new Gullwing Mercobenz (who look like a cadavre-exquis of the most mismatched deign from random car of the last 20 years). But still a bad joke if you account for the price.

But now, that's coming from a guy who is all exited aboot the new Nissan Leaf and think the Audi 747-Q7 eat babies for breakfeast......
